Manual Installation of Python Packages
Written on 24.04.2023 11:31 by Joris Nix
Dear students,
as already announced, we will make use of Jupyter notebooks throughout this lecture. To run these notebooks, we require a Python installation and a couple of Python packages. In addition, a few of the notebooks also require third-party software such as PostgreSQL or Neo4j. Therefore, we provide you with a virtual machine that already has everything installed.
Unfortunately, some of you encounter problems regarding the installation and/or use of the virtual machine, e.g. the installation does not work on MacBooks with M1 chips.
However, you do not necessarily need the virtual machine! For the assignment sheets, you will only need Python and the corresponding Python packages (no third-party software). Thus, if you are unable to use the virtual machine for whatever reason, you can also manually install the required software.
You can find instructions on how to manually install Python and the Python packages here. The link is also available under Information > Manual Installation.
Kind regards,
Your BDE Team
